According to a statement from New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella’s office, at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, law enforcement responded to the area of Route 13 and Townsend Hill Road in Brookline for a report of a shooting.
Upon arriving, officers encountered 44-year-old Carlos Quintong responsive and suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Quintong was transported to the hospital, where he is receiving medical treatment.
